SOCOM 2: US Navy SEALs is a tactical military squad shooter exclusively for the PlayStation 2. It is created by Zipper Interactive and supported/published by Sony.

The game attempts to mock missions SEALs would actually carry out, which ultimately ends up with the SEALs fighitng the terrorists of the world in war-torn environments, or other terrorist infested areas.

It's third-person view makes it unique from other shooters. What makes it such a huge success is it's outstanding online mode.

In conclusion, SOCOM 2 pwns.

-I like Counter-Strike because it's fun!
-Your queer! SOCOM is for REAL MEN!

Playstation 2 game endorsed by the US army. Named after the Special Operations Command. Consists of teambased tactical simulatoin (ie. hostage escort, demolition defusion... ect)

The game is a nice change of pace as it is in 3rd person rather than first. Gameplay is the bigest pro, on par with the HALO games. The downsides are the fact that about half the players you encounter online are too worried about their ranks, and the server is a little laggy on weekend nites.

If you have a PS2 and broadband, I would definitly give this game a try.

Gamer 1: "This HALO is sure fun, but I'm getting tired of first person... If only there were a good alternative."
Gamer 2: "...now there is!"
